The sudden darkness did not cause any inconvenience to Lan, but it caused great trouble to Shen Wang and Zhou Xiangzhe.

The two tried to contact the headquarters of the second team while trying to leave the pollution source. As a result, before they found the direction, the whole world went dark and the communication was cut off.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiangzhe had been holding Shen Wang’s sleeves at that time, so the two did not get separated in the sudden darkness.

“It’s so dark.” Zhou Xiangzhe said, “I can’t see where you are.”

“You’re pulling my sleeve.”

Zhou Xiangzhe nodded, and then he remembered that Shen Wang couldn’t see, so he hummed in response.

But it was too dark, and they couldn’t move forward in the dark. Not only would they not be able to walk on the right path, they might even get completely lost.

Just as they were thinking about what to do, Zhou Xiangzhe blinked.

“Shen Wang.”

Zhou Xiangzhe called Shen Wang’s name, “You’re glowing.”

“Ah?” Shen Wang turned his head to look in Zhou Xiangzhe’s direction, and at that moment, he also saw a very subtle light.

A tiny light spot emerged from Shen Wang’s collar. It was like a small firefly, which could only illuminate a very small area. The light spot floated in front of them, up and down.

Shen Wang and Zhou Xiangzhe looked at each other.

“Where did it come from?” Zhou Xiangzhe asked.

Shen Wang thought for a moment before speaking, “I have a guess, do you want to hear it?”

“Yes.”

“This light spot…” Shen Wang pondered for a while, “I remember that although you didn’t go in, you also went to the door of the orphanage. Do you remember? There was a light at the door of the orphanage. The light was very dim and small. Do you think this light spot looks like the light at the door of the orphanage?”

Zhou Xiangzhe was stunned for a moment.

He has a good memory and has stood at the door of the orphanage for a long time, so he can quickly remember everything he saw.

The orphanage was buried in the darkness, and only the light that was almost extinguished was on at the door. The light dimly illuminated the people standing at the door of the orphanage. At that time, he was only concerned about the dean, teachers and children in his memory, and he really didn’t pay much attention to the light.

But now that Shen Wang mentioned it, he realized that this light was indeed very similar to the light at the door of the orphanage. They were both so weak and dim, but they continued to shine in this eternal night.

“The dean gave it to you?”

“I don’t know, but the dean and all the others pointed me in the direction where you are.”

Shen Wang recalled what happened at that time, “Many people pointed the way for me to reach your position.”

“Maybe even if someone pointed the way, the dean still felt uneasy, so he put this little thing on me.” Shen Wang stretched out his finger and poked the glowing little thing, “Do you think this is the dean’s ability?”

“Ability…” Zhou Xiangzhe’s face had a slight smile, “A little light in the dark?”

“It really suits him.”

They smiled at each other and continued to move forward following the light spot.

The light spot floated in front as if to lead the way for them. Shen Wang and Zhou Xiangzhe followed it hand in hand. Once they walked slowly, the light spot would wait in place, looking very stable.

“Does it feel like when we went on a spring outing when we were kids?” Shen Wang said suddenly.

“The dean walked in front, holding a small sign in his hand, looking back at us from time to time. All the children followed behind, holding hands. Occasionally, a child would curiously run to the side, and then be caught by the teacher. The dean would wait quietly in the same place.”

“Similar.” Zhou Xiangzhe said, “Just like that time.”

It’s just that the dean has become a light now. They have grown up, but the dean is still in front to guide them.

In fact, the scope of this pollution source is not large. It only accommodates an orphanage, a hospice hospital and a central lighthouse. The light spot keeps moving forward and stops to wait for them. Even so, it stops after walking for less than half an hour.

The light spot circled around them twice, and it reluctantly withered in the darkness, gradually losing its light, but the eyes of Shen Wang and Zhou Xiangzhe became brighter and brighter.

It was as if everything revived with the arrival of spring, just like the rising and setting of the morning sun in the east.

Shen Wang felt a familiar breath, he turned around and looked behind him, when he saw it he pulled Zhou Xiangzhe, so Zhou Xiangzhe turned around with him.

In the darkness that was gradually disappearing behind him, the dean stood there and looked at them, behind him was the female teacher and a group of children holding the teacher’s legs, each child was wearing the same clothes, some of them still had mud on their faces, and when they saw them turn around, the children immediately raised their hands excitedly and waved at them vigorously.

“Goodbye!” they shouted loudly.

“Don’t come back again.” The dean with glasses said with a smile.

“The dean will take you home for the last time.”

The light covered the darkness and also obscured everyone in the orphanage until they could no longer be seen clearly.

Shen Wang felt Zhou Xiangzhe tighten his grip on his hand, as if he was holding his last hope.

And there were noisy sounds in his ears, the sound of wind, rain and human voices.

“Zhou Xiangzhe.” Shen Wang said, “I can’t see him anymore.”

Zhou Xiangzhe turned around and nodded, “Yeah.”

They took the last step together, and the next moment light poured into their eyes. In just a moment, fine raindrops fell on them, and the cold Shen Wang almost trembled.

Before Shen Wang could confirm the weather and environment, a “Fuck!” came from not far away.

“Fuck!” A familiar voice made a stunned sound, “Oh my god! I said they were having an affair! Look, they are holding hands!”

Zhou Xiangzhe also heard this sentence. He looked at Qiang Li’an who was speaking, with a little warning in his golden eyes.

Qiang Li’an quickly covered his mouth and hid behind Zhou Qing aggrievedly.

But Shen Wang still let go of his hand, not because he felt it would look bad, but because Shen Wang was not interested in being treated like a monkey in a zoo. After Qiang Li’an finished shouting, most of the people present looked over, and everyone was wearing a uniform with a Polaris badge on their chest, and they were obviously members of the second team.

Everyone wanted to see but didn’t dare to, and the two emotions intertwined on their faces, forming a strange expression.

Zhou Xiangzhe felt a little regretful, but he couldn’t announce that they were together ignoring of Shen Wang’s wishes.

“[Polaris] Zhou Xiangzhe and Shen Wang have returned, so what happened in Area 3?”

“Oh, right!” As soon as Area 3 was mentioned, Qiang Li’an immediately jumped out from behind Zhou Qing, “Little Shen! We need your help! You said you saw a river in Area 3, tell me more about it.”

Shen Wang was still standing next to Zhou Xiangzhe, “What happened?”

“All the victims in Area 3 are missing.”

“What?”

Zhou Qing came over, he first chanted, and then said: “Except for Master Shen, no one can enter Area 3, so after the pollution in Area 2 disappeared, I immediately took over Master Shen’s task and entered Area 3, but the strange thing is that I didn’t see the river that Master Shen menctioned, but at the same time I didn’t see a single person in Area 3.”

“It’s like a dead city, there’s no one inside, no life, not even a bird nor a mouse.”

This is terrifying, Area 3 was ordered to be closed by the Pollution Control Center, all the distorted people were trapped inside, and we don’t even know if they died.

They just disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Xiangzhe also understood that this phenomenon strange, and asked: “Are there any new changes?”

“Yes, this morning, when we found that the pollution source had returned to its original range, the pollution in Area 3 also disappeared.” Qiang Li’an frowned and said: “After confirming that the pollution disappeared, the boss and I took several people to check it out, and there was still no one.”

“Among the three polluted areas, Area 3 is the strangest. It’s pollution got higher for no reason and became very high. Even mutants can’t resist it. The pollution disappeared inexplicably, and all the people inside disappeared too.”

Zhou Xiangzhe frowned slightly, and he looked at Zhou Qing.

The two S-level mutants looked at each other for a few seconds, and they confirmed a piece of information at the same time.

Qiang Li’an looked at this and that, “Boss, what are you and the captain doing?”

“Issue a red alert.” Zhou Xiangzhe said: “The pollution source is suspected to have a S-level pollutant.”

Qiang Li’an almost dropped the doll in his hand.

“Captain, what did you say?!”

Zhou Xiangzhe ignored Qiang Li’an and motioned Shen Wang to follow him.

Shen Wang walked beside him, “Is it really an S-level pollutant?”

“A-level pollutants aren’t completely traceless. There is a possibility of it being a S-level pollutants, but everything is only a guess before actually seeing it.”

Shen Wang thought about it. According to what the dean said, there are only three high-level pollutants in the pollution source besides the dean. A B-level Little One was dealt with by Shen Wang, and an A-level Illusory butterfly was killed by Zhou Xiangzhe’s Deer God. Then there is only the fish that hasn’t even shown its face.

I didn’t expect it to be S-level.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Shen Wang. For the time being, he can only use A-level abilitys, and he lost miserably in the competition against a S-level pollution. The paintings became unrecognizable because of it.

So he would not be idle and challenge the S-level for nothing.

“What are you going to do now?” Shen Wang asked Zhou Xiangzhe.

“Now, change clothes.” Zhou Xiangzhe said as he walked: “I have been in the pollution source for several days. It is still raining here. The clothes are all wet. Maybe I smell.”

“Do you?”

Shen Wang leaned over and sniffed his collar. Zhou Xiangzhe also cooperated and leaned sideways to facilitate his movements.

In fact, there is no smell. Zhou Xiangzhe is just a clean freak. The first thing he does after every mission is to change clothes. If he is not on a mission, he would like to change clothes every day.

Not far away, Qiang Li’an was watching the two people from behind.

He clicked his tongue.

“Boss, look, if they are not a pair, who else can be a pair?!”

Zhou Qing looked at the two people in front of him with a sour feeling.

“Am I shortsighted?” Zhou Qing rubbed his eyes.

Qiang Li’an looked at Zhou Qing in confusion, “Shortsighted?”

“If I wasn’t shortsighted, how could I see Zhou Xiangzhe treating someone so gently? The last time we met, my pollution level was affected and I went crazy for a while. When I woke up, I found that Zhou Xiangzhe had tied my limbs and hung me on a tree! This man has no heart at all!”

Qiang Li’an: …

Should he remind Zhou Qing that shortsightedness actually means not being able to see things far away clearly?

Zhou Qing can see so clearly, he shouldn’t be shortsighted, maybe he is farsighted…
